Description

λ pip install C:\tmp\arrow-verify-release-wheels\pyarrow-0.16.0-cp38-cp38m-win_amd64.whl ERROR: pyarrow-0.16.0-cp38-cp38m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

The wheel came from

https://bintray.com/apache/arrow/download_file?file_path=python-rc%2F0.16.0-rc2%2Fpyarrow-0.16.0-cp38-cp38m-win_amd64.whl

The "m" ABI tag appears to have been removed in Python 3.8

https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/1822

Locally I have pip 20.0.2, wheel 0.34.1, and setuptools 45.1.0.post20200127
